Definitions

• R R R R R X and Y have the meanings assigned above, R is an alkyl group and R is alkyl or a group A-Q as above.
• This invention relates to photographic silver light sensitive materials and more particularly in the manufacture of dye-sensitised photographic silver halide emulsions.
• Photographic silver halide emulsions have a certain natural sensitivity to light, but this is restricted to a short range of wavelengths in the ultra-violet and/or blue regions of the spectrum.
• the effect of incorporating a sensitising dye is to impart to the emulsion sensitivity to light of the other wavelengths. It has been known for some years that by incorporating in the emulsion, together with a sensitising dye, a second substance which may or may not itself be a sensitizer, there may be sometimes imparted to the emulsion an additional sensitivity superior to that which may be regarded as the sum effect of the separate 3,463,640 Patented Aug. 26, 1969 ice substances. Combinations of a sensitising dye and another substance which gives this latter result are known as supersensitising combinations. There has now been discovered a supersensitising combination which comprises three sensitising dyes.
• a photographic silver halide emulsion which comprises, in sensitising amounts, either two sensitising dyes of the general Formula I:
• R and R are the same or different and are alkyl groups, or one is an alkyl group and the other is a group A-Q where A is a straight or branched alkylene chain containing 1-6 carbon atoms and Q is an amide, carboxylic acid or sulphonic acid (where Q is a sulphonic acid the dye generally exists as the anhydro form where X is a hydroxide ion), R R R and R are the same or different and each represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom, or an alkyl, aryl, hydroxy or alkoxy group, R is a lower alkyl group and Y and Z are each sulphur or selenium atoms and X is an anion or one dye of Formula I together with a dye of the following Formula II:
• R R R R R X and Y have the meanings assigned above, R is an alkyl group and R is an alkyl group or a group A-Q where A is a straight or branched alkylene chain containing 1-6 carbon atoms and Q is an amide, carboxylic acid or sulphonic acid (where Q is a sulphonic acid the dye generally exists as the anhydro form where X is an hydroxide ion).
• R in Formula III is a group A-Q where Q is a sulphonic acid group.
• the dye of Formula III is present in the emulsion in a quantity larger than the sum of the other two dyes.
• alkyl groups are preferably lower alkyl groups, i.e., containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms though they may be higher alkyl groups.
• aryl groups are referred to, these may be phenyl or naphthyl and may include substituent groups such as alkyl groups or halogen atoms which do not destroy the sensitising action of the compounds.
• alkoxy groups are methoxy and ethoxy.
• X represents any anion (and may be different in different classes of compounds) but generally will be a halide ion or a sulphate, sulphamate, aryl sulphonate or perchlorate ion.
• Dye of Formula II Dye A.Bis-(3-ethyl-2-naphtho[1,2d]thiazole) fi-methyltrimethincyanine chloride.
• Dye of Formula I Dye C.Bis-(3-ethyl-5-methyl-2-benzothiazole) fi-ethyltrimethincyanine iodide.
• Dye of Formula III Dye 1.--Anhydro-(3-3-sulphopropyl 2 benzothiazole) (5-methoxy-3-methyl-2-benzoxazole) fl-ethyltrimethincyanine hydroxide.
• the dyes were added to a high speed silver iodobromide emulsion containing 5.4 mol percent of silver iodide, after digestion of the emulsion, the quantity shown for each dye being the amount per 1 /2 g. mols of silver halide.
• the speeds are relative log speeds measured to light passing through a tricolour red filter.
• the term relative log speed is directly related to the logarithm of the reciprocal of the exposure in metre candle seconds required to produce a density of 0.1 above fog. A higher figure indicates a higher speed.
• EXAMPLE 2 The following dyes of Formulae I, II and III were used, as in Example 1. In all cases the dyes were added after digestion of the emulsion.
• Dyes of Formula II (A) Bis-(3-ethyl-2-naphtho[1,2d] thiazole) fl-methyltrimethincyanine chloride.
• Dyes of Formula I Anhydro-(5,6-dimethyl-3-3'-sulphopropyl-2-benzothiazole) (5-chloro-3-ethyl-2-benzothiazole) fi-ethyltrimethincyanine hydroxide.
• Dyes of Formula III Anhydro-(3-3'-sulphopropyl-Z-benzothiazole) (5- methoxy-S-methyl-2-benzoxazole) fl-ethyltrimethincyanine hydroxide.
• Example 3 The method of Example 1 was followed except that the 55 dyes in the first column of Table 3 were added to the emulsion before digestion, and the dyes in the second and third column were added after digestion.
• R and R are the same or different and are alkyl groups, or one is an alkyl group and the other is a group A-Q where A is straight or branched alkylene chain containing 1-6 carbon atoms and Q is an amide, carboxylic above formula together with a dye of the following formula:
• R R R R R X and Y have the meanings assigned above, R is an alkyl group and R is an alkyl group or a group A-Q where A is a straight or branched alkylene chain containing 1-6 carbon atoms and Q has the meaning assigned above.
• a photographic emulsion according to claim 1 wherein R in the formula which was last defined is a group A-Q where Q is a sulphonic acid group.
• a photographic silver halide emulsion according to claim 1 which contains in sensitising amounts,
• a photographic silver halide emulsion according to claim 1 which contains in sensitising amounts,
• a photographic silver halide emulsion according to claim 1 which contains in sensitising amounts,
• a photographic silver halide emulsion according to claim 1 which contains in sensitising amounts,
